<p>I have found that the neck stiffness affects the sustain. I tried a couple with aluminum necks. the sustaion was awsome. OK, it wasnt so pretty, but it sounded good.</p>

<p>It's all about vibration. More transfer of vibration from the strings to the box the better... not to mention a sound hole that allows those vibrations to escape the box. A nice thinner box top and bottom will help that, as well as how well the neck and all string contact points marry to the box/body.Simple things like gluing the lids shut to let the vibrations transfer from the top to the box body helps. Allowing for bracing that is not killing the tops vibrations. I would say that it's a…</p>

Allowing for bracing that is not killing the tops vibrations. I would say that it's a combination of how everything fits together and how well the vibrations transfer from on part of the guitar to the other. Vibration = sound. </p> Oh, I forgot to add, that ind…tag:www.cigarboxnation.com,2013-08-07:2592684:Comment:16732392013-08-07T15:21:44.851ZRon "Oily" Spraguehttps://www.cigarboxnation.com/profile/RonaldSprague

Everything. I think. Box volume, how stiff the box is, thinness of top, coupling of strings to saddle to bridge to top, finding the box's sweet spot, finding the tuning where that particular box resonates, finding the right strings and tension, neck material...all of it.
